How to consume butter cookies (enriched), coffee without glucose spikes

Combine with Protein or Healthy Fats

Pair the butter cookies with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts or a small serving of Greek yogurt, to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Monitor Portion Size

Reduce the portion size of butter cookies you consume. Even a small reduction can significantly impact your glucose response.

Choose Whole Grain Versions

If available, opt for cookies made with whole grains or oats, which are less likely to cause a spike.

Add Fiber

Increase your fiber intake by adding a small serving of fruits like cherries or apples alongside your cookies. Fiber helps moderate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before or with your snack. Staying hydrated can impact how your body processes sugar.

Drink Black Coffee

If you drink coffee with your cookies, consider having it black or with a splash of milk instead of sugar-laden creamers.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk after consuming the cookies, to help your muscles use some of the glucose.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite and eating slowly, which can help improve your body's insulin response.

Incorporate Vinegar

Consider adding a small amount of vinegar, such as a salad with vinaigrette, before your snack. It can moderate blood sugar levels.

Balance with Low-Sugar Alternatives

Consider alternating between butter cookies and lower-sugar snacks like almonds or carrot sticks to avoid frequent spikes.
